My grandpa went to apply for Social Security, but when he arrived, he realized he had forgotten his ID.
The clerk smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Maybe we can find another way to verify your age.”
She asked him to unbutton his shirt.
When she saw his silver chest hair, she nodded confidently.
“That’s proof enough!”
She processed his application, and Grandpa proudly headed home.
As soon as he told Grandma the story, she burst out laughing.
“You should’ve dropped your pants!”
Grandpa looked confused.
“Why?”
Grandma grinned.
“They might’ve given you disability benefits too!”
Grandpa just shook his head.
“I’m never telling you about my government paperwork again!”
